Re: Hitachi hdd locked

there is software that can send a reset command using another computer, but it only works on some hardware - and it will completely wipe the drive.

As fzabkar stated above the HDD Oracle forums are the best place to ask these questions. Good luck with your drive.

Re: Hitachi hdd locked

use a different computer or DONT use a usb adapter.
you can usually only send the reset command through a real sata interface.

That is why that forum was suggested. A good one to learn from. I have repaired a few drives that I thought were goners and unlocked some sata drives from DVRs and such.
